Jesse is a post-doctoral fellow in the School of Kinesiology and School of Biomedical Engineering at The University of British Columbia. He studies the neuromechanics of movement, how disease and pain drive motor adaptation, and rehabilitation targets to improve musculoskeletal disease. Much of his work has examined the biomechanical consequences of knee osteoarthritis using tools to capture movement both in and out of the laboratory, including wearable sensors and telerehabilitation. He also develops human-interfacing systems to create novel experimental pain models to gain insights into how we explore and adapt movement to new contextual demands.
